Pretty self explanatory. I'll start.
1. If you don't have a bathmat handy or don't want to dirty one for whatever reason, assuming you haven't done anything messy in your old clothes like landscaping or working on cars, you can use them as a temporary bathmat instead.
2. If you use liquid soap and you're getting close to running out, put some water in the container. It will dilute the soap of course but you will have a lot more of it once more.
3. Let's say you wanted to get to Google quickly. Simply type in "google" and then press Ctrl + Enter. Your browser will then automatically fill in the rest for you. (It will put www. before it and .com after it.)
4. If you're phoning a company of some sort and you want to speak to a representative as soon as possible, press 0. This should work most of the time but it's not guaranteed.

When you roast a turkey or chicken, cook it breast down and then flip it and broil until the skin is crispy. Never baste again.

Excellent thread idea Arnox.
1. Use a sock when you jack off if you are lazy and dont wanna deal with the mess.
2. If you are confused about what to do in any given situation, ask yourself what would jesus do, and then do the opposite of that.
3. Want to make the bread last longer? suck the air out of the bag before closing it.

Nice. I'm also a fan of putting it in a paper bag and tying it up before you put it on the roasting pan. It sounds ridiculous when you first hear about it but trust me, it's good.

live in a dorm? tape a bowl over the smoke detector to avoid the $50 fine for setting it off, and just don't start any fires.
if you have a car that needs super fuel, avgas is usually cheaper than premium+lead additive+octane booster. any airport will sell it to you.

Obligatory uberman sleep schedule post
DO NOT do this if you are a spontaneous person, you will end up falling asleep at the wheel or some shit. Once you have this down for a few months, if you try to miss one of your naps, the resulting need for sleep is like 5× worse than that of methamphetamine withdrawal.

Use bug spray to keep your headlights sparkling for months.

If you break a lightbulb trying to screw it in or take it out (or something), you can remove it by cutting a potato in half, shoving it onto the broken bulb, and unscrewing.

This is actually zok's life hack, but you can stomp your dirty clothes at the same time as taking a shower and save electricity and water that way.

When you let out a silent fart in a group of people say "Whoa, guys, does it smell like fresh baked cookies in here?".
Then laugh at people when they huff your farts.
Life Hack!
